    Upgrading from 2014 to 2017 model?

    There's a 2017 REX with every single option available (leather, Harmon kardon sound system, 20" wheels) in a good color (white) in Cali on eBay that's going for $19,999. I've seen base models for 22-25k from some of those Carvana, Vroom, etc. sites and that honestly seems a little high. I'd stay...

    (Update: I bought one!) Test Drove 2016 BEV w/ 34k miles. Battery Check?

    Thanks for the info Nate! That is very helpful. And yes I am finding Art is always the one with all the answers. :D

    (Update: I bought one!) Test Drove 2016 BEV w/ 34k miles. Battery Check?

    This is my first EV, so maybe this is basic question.. Can you charge safely while it's raining? If I charge my car outside at night and it rains during the middle of the night, will that be okay? I'm assuming it's protected..? Also.. I know it's okay to leave plugged in overnight. Can I leave...

    (Update: I bought one!) Test Drove 2016 BEV w/ 34k miles. Battery Check?

    So just thought I'd give everyone an update. That 2016 I thought was sold? The people never came and the dealership called me and said it was available again yesterday evening! I had been shopping all weekend and that was by far the absolute best deal in FL. The color I wanted (black) and the...

    (Update: I bought one!) Test Drove 2016 BEV w/ 34k miles. Battery Check?

    Well you don't have to worry about me getting a 2016 BEV anymore, cause it sold an hour before I went to buy it :x But I'm still convinced a 60aH is all I need. It's my second car as I think I mentioned. Really only to commute to work, groceries, etc. and none of them are more than 10-15...

    (Update: I bought one!) Test Drove 2016 BEV w/ 34k miles. Battery Check?

    Art, Are you really averaging 5.2mi/kWh?? FL is extremely flat, and - at least the area I'm in - is pretty temperate 6 months out of the year. If I could average even 5mi/kWh that would give me at least 80mi range in good conditions. That would be very nice indeed. The farthest places I go on a...

    (Update: I bought one!) Test Drove 2016 BEV w/ 34k miles. Battery Check?

    Hey thanks for the reply! So when you say "65 mile range", does that mean most days in I could actually drive 32.5 miles one way and 32.5 miles back home? Or does that mean "65 miles is your range, but in the real world you should only really plan for 50-55 mile trips at most?" Just wondering...

    (Update: I bought one!) Test Drove 2016 BEV w/ 34k miles. Battery Check?

    Went to test drive a 2016 BEV model today. 36k miles. I went in and checked the battery kapa and it said 17.3 kWh. It was fully charged and I was getting ~65 miles on the GOM and 90 in Eco+ mode. Is it really possible to get 80-90 miles if you drive gently? I already drive very gas-conscious...
